Lucha Libre! A San Diego classic. I cannot believe it's been 13 years since I've last been here. Location is in downtown SD close to the airport. There's a parking lot right next door so you don't have to fight for street parking. I ordered the Surfin California burrito with steak which came out to $18. Yikes - definitely a bit pricey! The burrito was delicious, tortilla crispy and warm, steak was juicy and seared, but the portion size was very small for $18. The salsa bar is fantastic and you get free chips with your meal. You need to try the mango salsa! It is the star of the salsa bar in my humble opinion and paired beautifully with the chips and burrito.

Let me tell you once in a while, I just need that seafood blackened mahi burrito that one can only get here!(I think) No pics of them, I didn't wanna show the bite marks... I've honestly been stuck on this menu item for years, even when they had the satellite location at Sycuan casino that eventually shut down. Don't get me wrong, I have had other items for sure. Just hard to steer clear of that burrito. Tacos of all types, as they are super innovative here. Rolled tacos are very tasty I do recall. I do remember a TJ hot dog that vanished off the menu a while back, which I loved. Shoot. These times they are a changin' but we can gotta get used to change right? For sure, still many creative items on menu to be had. They have been an icon at many events too. Definitely have to acknowledge them as one of the pioneers of new age style taco shops, and the idea has been copied now at many places. But not the wrestling idea, they have this locked down here, with the movie posters that line the walls too and golden booth that you apparently need to reserve in advance. Seems to me, lucha fans young and old, I'm sure would enjoy this!

If you're into cozy spots with a ton of character, you've got to check out this place. The place is small but super cool, with Lucha Libre-themed pictures covering every inch of the walls. It's got a fun, laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for a casual bite. The food? Amazing. Tried the Vegan Birria Burrito, and it was so good I'm still thinking about it. The Cauliflower Queso Tacos were just as tasty, and the salsa bar? Absolute gold. The salsas are free, unlimited, and ridiculously good. Staff is friendly and order came in fast. My only gripe is that there aren't a ton of vegetarian options, but what they do have is so flavorful. If you're down for a chill spot with great food and a lot of personality, this place is a total win.
